Story Behind The Song
The first time, he cheated, he explained it away. We all make mistakes. I was raised to be forgiving/ My grandmother instilled in me to err is human, to forgive divine. But then the next time,it stung. I couldn't forgive repeated disregard for my heart. I had some guilt because my grandmother had died and it was like I could hear her voice echoing forgiveness is a gift you give yourself, but I had to let him go.

Lyrics
One Too Many Times
First time
I cried
Stayed there
By your side
Swallowed
Your truth
Your words
My proof
Forgive and forget
Like grandma said
Forgive and forget
Stuck in my head
And you crossed the line
One too many times
One too many times
And you crossed the line
One too many times
One too many times
Second time
So mad
It hurt
So bad
Because I was
All in
Can't believe
You did it again
Forgive and forget
Like grandma said
Forgive and forget
Stuck in my head
And you crossed the line
One too many times
One too many times
And you crossed the line
One too many times
One too many times
One, two many times
Can't let you get to three
I can't let your lies
Get the best of me
Cause you crossed the line
One too many times
One too many times
Yea you crossed the line
One too many times
One too many times
